What shoe company would Dylan be on today?

In an alternate reality, Dylan never got sick and Styn never had knee problems, and HUF is still in business.

Considering the fact that Austyn has been relatively lowkey in the last half of the previous decade, I think a lot of people forget that these two could have signed with whoever in 2013/14. Had the cards not fallen the way they did, I really think HUF wouldn't have gone under. HUF had to have dropped a biiiiig percentage of their budget into those two, and that could have been the beginning of the end - once Styn got hurt and Dylan got sick, Cromer was the only triple A pro on the team that could basically go where he wanted. The rest of the team was/is a Nike/Cons/Adidas flow team, sad to say.

Losing both Austyn and Dylan definitely hit HUF hard but I have a feeling they were going to stop shoes eventually anyway. Majority of shares had already been sold to some big corporation and shoes just ain't where the money's at.

I think if Dylan were still around today he'd be on Adidas. He almost was before HUF, and now seeing Dill over there I think Adidas is the only place that could cut him the right checks and where he would fit in, albeit in sort of a strange way.

I loved his clips when he was skating vans, he looked natural in vans, sexy and natural

I think for connections it'd be adidas since Dill, Tyshawn, and Austin probably would have went too. But since he said he didn't like logos it may have been Vans and he'd be wearing the eras or the authentics (I can't distinguish between those models) exclusively.

Sad to think it's been almost 4 years without him producing the most beautiful footage, traveling with Austin, entering his 30s and continuing to grow. Life isn't fair.
